| Hey fly guys,
I am debating upon what wt fly rod to get. Is a 12 wt rod overkill because I plan on using it like a big rubber rod ro throw big flies for late season musky.
Thanks for the feedback

| I'm not a truly seasoned musky fly guy, but I have been throwing 10" streamers on a 10 wt. with no problem. I am looking to get an 11 wt. for those truly big flies. A 12 wt. just seems too heavy to be used for musky (I mean they use a 12 wt. for Tarpon in the Keys), however, I don't see a reason why you can't use one. |

Location: Walker, MN | I'm with LCM ^^^ I own ten wts but have used an 11wt. I thought the 11wt would be bomber for the big stuff. |

Location: Minnesota. | I'm not fond of big flies so I toss 6-7" flies, maybe 8" if you use all synthetics which I typically do and with a faster 9wt rod and use both a WF9F or the same in a 10wt on her. Works great for me. They eat it just fine! |
